Well crappy weather we are having, and the t5's brakes looking worn , so decided to give them a lick of paint.
Perhaps not to everyones taste, but hey i like it so i painted them Yellow, Although will be needing rear disc's soon.
To top it all off found a screw in the nsr tyre! doh going ot get that sorted tomorrow.
should have been red mate all day long
[QUOTE=t5frankie;559260]should have been red mate all day long[/QUOTE] lol like i said i like them had red ones before didnt look great tbh, personal preference of course ;)
maybe green then, think outside the box
perhaps? lol out of the box, Volvo calipers outside of the box lol
i like them Gav looks good mate
I like them too Gav. The yellow moose and the calipers go together IMO
[QUOTE=merc85;559268]perhaps? lol out of the box, Volvo calipers outside of the box lol[/QUOTE] smithy has sent me a nice photo of his new red calipers
Yello look good tbh.
should of done them saffron lol
Hammerite Smooth [COLOR="#FFD700"]Gold[/COLOR] is the colour for standard type sliding calipers! Factory and tidy! The yellow still looks good though.
Gav, if it was a Porsche you'd have paid lots extra for yellow, so they get my thumbs up...
